In the heart of Dickson, Tennessee, there is a place where instruments are more than merchandise, lessons are more than instruction, and music is more than sound, it is connection. Hendricks Music has become a cornerstone of the local creative community by doing what small businesses do best: turning passion into service and service into impact.
More than a retail music store, Hendricks Music is a gathering place for musicians, students, educators, and families who believe in the power of music to bring people together, build confidence, and create opportunity.
Hendricks Music serves Dickson and surrounding communities by providing access to instruments, repairs, rentals, and music education for all ages and experience levels. From a child picking up their first instrument to a seasoned musician looking for expert guidance, the shop offers both the tools and the support needed to grow creatively.
By combining personalized service with a deep understanding of music and musicians, Hendricks Music has built a reputation not just for quality, but for care — something that cannot be replicated by large online retailers or national chains.
What sets Hendricks Music apart is its commitment to education and accessibility. The store actively supports students, schools, and local music programs by offering rentals, lessons, and expert guidance that make music more attainable.
Music education has been shown to improve cognitive development, emotional well-being, and social connection, and Hendricks Music plays a quiet but meaningful role in making those benefits available within the community.
The result is not just better musicians — but more confident students, more connected families, and a stronger cultural fabric within the region.

At the helm of Hendricks Music are Glenn Hendricks and Paula Ramirez, two passionate musicians and educators whose experience and dedication shape the heart of the business. Their leadership is grounded not only in technical mastery, but in a deep belief that music is a powerful tool for connection, confidence, and personal growth. Through years of performance, teaching, and community engagement, they have cultivated a space where creativity is encouraged, learning is personalized, and every student, regardless of age or ability, is welcomed and supported. Their combined expertise and shared commitment to education have transformed Hendricks Music into more than a retail space; it is a creative home where musicians are nurtured, relationships are built, and the cultural life of the community is continually enriched.
Glenn’s musical journey began at the age of 10 with his first guitar, and over the years he developed his craft as a performing musician, studying at the prestigious Musicians Institute of Technology in California under noted instructors including Steve Trovato, Paul Gilbert, and Ted Greene. His expertise spans multiple styles, from rock and blues to country and jazz, and his teaching philosophy emphasizes fundamentals like technique, theory, and improvisation, making him equally adept with beginners and advanced students alike.
Paula Ramirez brings her own depth of experience as a multi-instrumentalist and respected performer. Her instrumental versatility includes guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, piano, flute, clarinet, and saxophone, along with strong vocal talent. Originally from Michigan and a graduate of the Antelope Valley College Commercial Music program, Paula’s career includes performance, songwriting, and studio work, and she has built a reputation for patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for helping students succeed. Her approach creates a learning environment that is encouraging, personalized, and rooted in real-world musical experience.
Together, Glenn and Paula have shaped Hendricks Music into more than a store, it is a place of mentorship, creativity, and community support, where every student and musician is encouraged to grow and thrive through music.
